Gender and Non‑Violent Extremism in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Ethics and gender sensitivity

Description:

This policy paper examines the gendered dimensions of extremism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with comparative insights from Serbia, Croatia, and Montenegro. Using a gender‑analysis lens, it reveals how religious, political, and ideological actors across the Western Balkans seek to reshape societies and undermine progress toward gender equality. The research highlights the still‑underexplored links between antifeminist rhetoric, anti‑gender narratives, conservative religious doctrines, and far‑right extremism. It draws on an analysis of online groups promoting antifeminist and far‑right ideals, as well as community‑based actors, showing how these groups reinforce and legitimize mainstream political discourse that marginalizes women and advances anti‑gender agendas.
